Apparently some users of Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 are seeing a problem with the computer will boot up to a 
black screen.

Microsoft has announced, today, that they have absolutely no idea what the problem is, but it is *not* *their* *fault*.

(Yes, I know it is Friday in NZ.  No, this is not a joke.  It's a real news story.  Heard it on the drive in to teach 
this morning.)
